For enthusiasts of early banjo
And so it Begins...
I Just Recieved My Bell & Son Boucher Banjo Kit.
I'm a Absolute Beginner To Minstrel Banjo and so will Have To Earn My Strings. Any & All Help along the way is Greatly appreciated.
I'll be Posting an Ongoing Video Journal of The Finishing of the Kit on My You Tube Channel for anyone who care to watch & Comment. Thanks, DanO'

I’m considering getting a Bell Sweeney kit. What did you finish it with? Oil? Wax?

My dad has built 3-4 kits for me, because he's retired and has the time. After the stain, he'd polyurethane it. Thin, thin coats, 2-3 coats. Should protect it well, and not dull the tone due to the thin coats vs thick coating...

BTW, I really like my Bell Stichter!! Plays well, good tone, and really holds tune day to day, supposing temp and humidity are fairly consistent...
